JR Crafts: July Challenge

Good morning all,

Wow, can you believe it ,

July already..

I am particularly excited as my darling Elliot will be 3 this month..

He seems to be growing up so fast,

I am just glad that we can finally see him again..

As it is the first of July

We have a new Lavinia Challenge

My favourite stamp.

Now that might sound easy, but oh no,

It is so hard to choose,

I have so many favourites,

Bet you do too

So I went for one that I use so much,,

Years ago I fell in love with the idea of using the feather as a tree,

and I have used it so much since.

I have made a YouTube video, if you fancy taking a look

Obviously I was just going to use one stamp but then little Pipin ran into my design

and just sat there...

I started by adding some ink to my card using Billy Brayer

I just have to keep using this new colour

Next I added some purple just to alter the colour tone.

Followed by some stamping.

Next I added the moon and some scenery, but it still needed something else.

So out came one of the new stencils

I kept to a pale colour to keep the tones nice and light.

I do love how that looks, it really adds atmosphere to the design

I used Inktense pencils to add colour, but I like to add a secret ingredient to my water when I water colour them.

This really adds some glimmer to the tree.

The finally some white Posca pen and some glitter...

A lovely, relaxing scene.

I do hope you will enter the challenge,

It is on the Lavinia website, and you could win £40 to spend there.

It is dry here today, Eric and I have just had a lovely walk ,

It is so good to get some fresh air.

I hope you have a lovely day, whatever you get up too.

See you at 11am for coffee and biscuit.

Much love and hugs

Jo xxx
